What to expect
Ghent offers a unique way to explore its medieval city centre with a boat trip on the river Leie. The 40-minute boat tour, accompanied by a local guide, takes you through the city's historic centre, passing by iconic landmarks such as St. Bavo's Cathedral, the Castle of the Counts of Flanders, and the Ghent Towers. You'll learn about the city's history and beauty while enjoying the scenic views of the river. The boat tour is a great way to discover Ghent from a different perspective. Additionally, there are various boat companies that offer traditional boat trips, and some also provide themed tours. It's also possible to rent a vessel with or without a skipper, or try kayaking or rafting for a more adventurous experience
